The beautiful gown, with greater than 2,500 crystals stitched on to it, was custom-made for Monroe based mostly on a sketch made by Bob Mackie, then an understudy of French haute couturier Jean Louis. Ripley’s, of Consider It Or Not! fame, purchased the gown in 2016 at an public sale for $4.8 million.
